The WHO Farm Mobile (formerly the Tospy-Turvy bus created by Ben Cohen, of Ben & Jerry’s) was at Wrigley Field on Friday, August 22. They are traveling from New York City to San Francisco, sharing their vision of an organic farm on the grounds of the White House. Their proposal is to draw attention to farm and food policy. Advocating the ultimate in local foods, they hope that with an organic farm outside the White House’s back door, the president will be eating exceptionally nutritious food which may cause exceptionally wise decision-making in the Oval Office.
The bus will be center-Soapbox at Slow Food Nation, 2:30 PM, August 29 in San Francisco. The Slow Food Nation is an organization that believes that food should be healthy and delicious, grown in a sustainable way and economically fair to farmers and consumers. The bus toured the country in 2007 drawing attention to U.S. budget priorities. The seats on the top level have been removed and replaced by an organic garden. While you might have missed the bus on August 22nd, you can still check our www.TheWHOFarm.org to find out how you can get involved with this movement.
